    A 36th-round pick of the Athletics out of high school and a 20th-round pick of the Phillies in 2016 out of Parkland (Ill.) JC, Schanuel dominated in the early going this year, but fell apart as the season wore on. Schanuel has solid stuff, but he's struggled to throw enough strikes for it to matter. He showed 94-95 mph velocity in the fall, but settled in at 88-93 mph this spring. He doesn't bounce the ball to the plate or throw it to the backstop, but he has issues finding the strike zone--he allowed 43 walks in 51 innings this year, which explains his 5-7, 5.94 record. Schanuel's secondary pitches are interesting--he has a fringe-average changeup with solid deception and a promising if inconsistent slider. At his best, Schanuel is dominating--he struck out 11 in seven one-hit scoreless innings against Indiana this year. It was one of three times he pitched five or more innings with only one hit allowed. But he also had a string of disastrous outings in April and May.
